Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
I say yes, with some careful placement. Or just pull the back seats out for the trip. Four bolts and its free.

My VX was shipped with 4 stock rims/tires + the spare + back seat stuffed in the back. IIRC the back seat was not mounted but I think it'll fit if you just fold & tumble it.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
I don't know about you guys, but if I fold the rear seat forward I can barely fit behind the wheel. The driver's seat just won't go back far enough. Pretty frustrating for short drives, a long one (drive) would really suck.
That said, you should be able to lay the seats down flat and stack a couple wheels/tires on top, perhaps on a blanket to protect the seats from damage. Then put another behind the seat and another in the passenger seat. Surely they'll go...
If the tires are on the rims yes. I fit 4 , 2" larger terra grapplers in the back with seat folded up. shawn

hah sorry i missed this thread.. yea ive had tires of all sizes in my VX.. my personal record was 17 tires total of varying sizes.. 14 inside and 3 in the roof basket.. that was with a drivers seat only, i left my backseat and passenger seat in the shop to move that many tires.. i was barely able to get my 4 285/60/18s in the back with the seat folded up and my sub box, but it was a TIGHT fit.. actually wound up messing up the tint on my rear window.. but without the sub box it wouldnt have been so bad
Like etl, I had no issues with 4 285/60 at the same time. It was tight, but did not cause any issues. Didn't have to adjust my driver's seat either, though I am 5'11 and skinny as a rail.
